Thanks for the replys. Amuyea, the link was informative. DifterDan, I downloaded Ifile just now, unfortunately the instruction said my device has to be jail Brocken which my iPad is not.

Thank you.

Thanks

Sorry I don't think I was totally clear. I know how to apply existing hacks to apps. I want to make my own.

Hey, I only recently learned how to hack Ios games using already existing game saves made by other people. I would like to learn how to make my own game saves so I'm not limited to what is available, can get coding experience and know how to duplicate ex. So far I know how to get to the files for an app and extract them using iTunes and Ibotbackup then replacing them with hacked files and I've spent the last few days practicing that. The game I would like to start with is the sims freeplay. I would like to learn ,if possible (which I'm assuming it is as there are already hacks to do this) to hack my already existing save to add in game currency. As I said I know how to extract the files for the game but beyond that I'm clueless So to get started I have a few questions, 1. After exporting several of the game files with Ibot I opened them in notepad to see if I could locate the values referring to the in game currency. Sadly I know nothing about the language the files are coded in and to me notepad was only showing a wall of foreign symbols. Is there a program that can interpret the files information in a more user friendly manor that I need to view/edit different values within app files? 2. I am aware that even with a proper program the values are not likely to be clearly labeled, for ex. line 7, lifestyle points, current value 10 . This might fall into place with #1 but how do I know which value/s to edit in which file/s? 3.This might also go along with # 1 might not, but while browsing this site I have come across tutorials for hacking with hex editer, Ida and mobile substrate. What is the difference between this methods? Does each game have a specific method to hack it or does it come down to an individual's preference? if its the later how to find out which method a game uses? 4. The game save hack I downloaded for freeplay has files which do not have counterparts within the freeplay backup folder. It was the same with the hack I downloaded for another game, kinectamils unleashed. When I installed these extra file to kenectamils the app would freeze at the Microsoft splash screen every time I turned it on. I deleted and reinstalled the app then installed only the hacked files that had counterparts in the unhacked backup folder and the app loaded all the way and the hack works 100%. So what the purpose of these extra file if the hack doesn't need them to work and they can mess up the app? I should add that my Ipad is not jailBrocken and I'm not comfortable going their just yet. I know this questions are noodish but as I said I'm a beginner, I'm also an eager learner.

Did you uninstall the app or are you planning to? I think Dominations is one of those games that when you delete it and reinstall it keeps your progress. That's because your save is stored server side or in the games own network. Restoring your backup will reset your iPhone/pad and all your apps,data to the exact moment you backed it up. I don't think you want this and since the one app your concerned about technically already backs itself up to it's own server you have nothing to worry about.

Thanks, I'm sure I'll need this once I get a hang of the basics

thanks
